Eye diseases (Ophthalmology)
Page Content
Eye diseases, or ophthalmology, specialises in the diagnostics and treatment of eye diseases and determining and correcting refractive errors. Ophthalmology is a surgical field of medicine treating patients of all age groups from premature neonates to senior citizens.
The most common eye diseases
The most common eye disease is cataract, a clouding of the lens of the eye, and cataract surgery is the world's most common surgical procedure. Other common eye diseases include glaucoma (a disease of the optic nerve) often associated with elevated intraocular pressure, and retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and age-related foveal degeneration, and functional poor vision and squint. Inflammations of the anterior segment of the eye are also common.
Eye diseases requiring the most demanding care
Ophthalmological specialist care includes corneal transplantations, removal of ocular tumours while keeping the eye, refractive surgery on medical grounds, demanding eyelid, eye socket and lacrimal passage surgery, and ophthalmic pathology.
The less complex eye diseases are treated in outpatient care by general physicians who collaborate with the regional eye specialist.
Ophthalmological emergencies
In the HUS area, ophthalmological emergencies are treated at Eye and Ear Hospital. Emergencies include penetrating eye injuries, some inflammations of the eye and visual disorders.
A referral is required for ophthalmic emergency care. Before referring a patient, the physician is advised to consult the physician on duty at the Eye Clinic. A referral is not required for actual emergencies, such as penetrating eye injuries.
Ophthalmological treatment in the HUS area
In the HUS area, there are four locations providing ophthalmological treatment: the Eye and Ear Hospital, Orton, Porvoo Hospital and Lohja Hospital.
The HUCH Department of Ophthalmology at the Eye and Ear Hospital is the largest of these units. In addition to its responsibilities within the HUS area, HUCH Department of Ophthalmology provides treatment for rare eye diseases nationally.

If you've been experiencing random crashes on your iPhone or iPad since you updated to iOS 7, you're apparently not alone. Apple is aware of a bug that randomly reboots iOS 7 devices, and the company has told Mashable that the problem will be fixed "in an upcoming software update."
We've experienced this problem a few times on our various iOS 7 devices, though there doesn't seem to be any repeatable set of steps that consistently makes them crash. When they do crash, the devices reboot, and you are temporarily kicked to the same Apple logo splash screen you see when you power on your phone or tablet.
The most obvious candidate for this "upcoming" update is iOS 7.1, which is currently in its fourth developer beta. Apple has said nothing about a release date for the software, but it's been in beta since November. Together with the relatively high number of beta builds, this indicates that Apple is taking its time and getting as many problems ironed out as possible. Several changes have reportedly appeared and disappeared throughout the various betas, but as of this writing the update ought to bring UI tweaks, better stability on both phones and tablets, and possibly the iOS in the Car feature first showcased at last year's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC). We'll be reporting on iOS 7.1 more thoroughly once the update is released.

Today, the Department of the Interior (DOI) issued a comprehensive policy that will promote and protect scientific and scholarly integrity within the department. The policy, issued as a chapter in the Departmental Manual, provides essential details and procedures for the DOI-wide implementation of a September 2010 directive from Secretary Salazar. The policy also responds to White House directives requiring federal departments and agencies to establish scientific integrity policies.
"The DOI policy released today is impressive and thorough. This policy goes a long way toward providing a model for other agencies and non-governmental organizations" said American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) President Dr. James P. Collins. "I commend Secretary Salazar and everyone at Interior who worked on developing the department's position in these important areas. It is an impressive accomplishment to develop a policy that meets the needs of departmental scientists and is compatible with the DOI's diverse mission areas," Collins said.
The DOI scientific and scholarly integrity policy includes a number of provisions AIBS and other scientific organizations recommended in response to a draft policy issued for comment last year.
"The department has considered and incorporated recommendations made by external scientific organizations," said Dr. Robert Gropp, AIBS Director of Public Policy. "It is great to see that Interior has taken the White House directives on scientific integrity seriously. We are pleased to see that the policy now applies to all employees, including political appointees and public affairs officials. This policy should help to foster public trust in departmental decisions and officials."
"Scientific societies and professional organizations should be pleased with this policy," stated Collins. Importantly, the new policy sets forth specific and clear guidance for how departmental scientists may serve their professional communities through service on boards and advisory committees. "DOI now has a clear procedure to guide how and when federal scientists may serve their scientific communities. This is good for the department, for science, and for the public. Federal scientists are often leaders in their fields. Science benefits when they are able to fully participate in their professional communities," stated Collins.
In the coming months, AIBS will work with its members and the department to ensure that scientists are aware of this new policy. According to Executive Director Dr. Richard O'Grady, "AIBS is considering hosting a roundtable discussion on scientific integrity this May. We want to facilitate a discussion of this policy. Integrity is so important to ensuring public trust in organizations, whether governmental or non-governmental, that we want to explore how scientific and scholarly integrity policy can be developed in other organizations and agencies."

Mike H."I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!
Greg J."With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg
Bill"I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students."
I am commenting here to tell you and everyone at JamPlay that I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students. I truly enjoy learning to play the guitar on JamPlay.com. Yes, I said the words, ""enjoy learning."" It is by far the best deal for the money.

International Gemini Observatory Captures Birth of a Supernova
Stellar discovery marks a new epoc in astronomical research
May 28, 2008
Astronomers have before observed the aftermath of spectacular stellar explosions known as supernovae. But last week researchers for the first time witnessed a star dying in real time.
While observing supernova 2007uy with the Swift X-ray Telescope, Alicia Soderberg and Edo Berger from Princeton University discovered a mysterious X-ray flash elsewhere in the galaxy NGC 2770, located about 90 million light years away. Within a few hours observatories around the world scrambled to study its light.
In a rapid sequence of events, the Gemini North telescope was able to capture and dissect the object's light in a set of optical spectra that contains the earliest spectrum ever obtained of a massive star ending its life in a supernova explosion outside of our galaxy's neighborhood.
"We were in the right place at the right time with the right telescope on January 9, and witnessed history," said Soderberg. "Thanks to the unique capabilities of the Swift satellite and the rapid response of the Gemini telescope, we were able to observe a star in the act of dying."
The result of this rapid response, following the Jan. 9, 2008, discovery, allowed Gemini to provide time-critical spectroscopic observations of the young supernova and the development of the explosion in a unique sequence of optical spectra using Gemini North telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii.

In 1883 Van Gogh settled in Nuenen, a village in North Brabant in the Netherlands, where his father was a minister. There he observed the lives of peasants as he established himself as a painter of working people. This is one of over 40 heads he painted that winter.
Dark, coarse and unidealised, the study was executed before the artist received any form of artistic training.

America's varied wilderness is reflected in its coastline as well inland, so holidaying on an American beach can be as good as the Caribbean. Whether you want fine sand and clear blue water or surf crashing against boulders, you'll find it somewhere around the edges of this vast country. Alternatively, you can have an equally wild time at some famous city beaches. Here are 10 of my favourite beaches in the USA:
Sleeping Bear Dunes, Michigan
Fifty-six kilometres of Lake Michigan are lined with dramatic sand bluffs, a fine point from which to admire America's third-largest lake, which contains 58,000 square kilometres of fresh water. Camping is popular here so you'll have to book ahead, or stay further inland in Traverse City, the country's cherry capital – delicious in early summer.
Miami Beach, Florida
On this iconic stretch of Florida water, the powdery white sand beach would be the main attraction – were it not for the fabulously cool Art Deco architecture and the over-the-top human parade on the streets. Campy, flashy, and just plain skimpy fashions rule. Do a few crunches – or get a boob job – before you arrive.
Lost Coast, California
In the far northern reaches of the Golden State, the highway veers away from the rugged coastline, and the water can be reached only on rutted mountain roads or on foot. The Lost Coast Trail is two segments, totalling 85km, through orange wild poppies, dense fog and towering redwoods – some of the most wild and isolated coastline south of Alaska.
Oak Street Beach, Chicago, Illinois
The water stretches to the horizon, which might make you think you're looking out at the ocean. But behind you is Chicago, America's booming second city, and the water is what locals just call "the lake." The water can be chilly until late summer. Warm up on 40km of bike paths that line the edge of the water while you can take in Lake Michigan's deep blue and the city's tall towers.
Mavericks, Half Moon Bay, California
To be precise, Mavericks is not a spot on the sand, but a patch of water about two miles offshore from this small Northern California town. With waves reaching some over seven metres high, it's a destination for the hardcore surfers who seek out the biggest action around the world. Go in the winter to watch from the safety of the beach bluffs when there's an invitation-only contest. Or get in the water yourself about 80km down the coast in Santa Cruz, with its own good (and less life-threatening) surf.
Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, Oregon
Maybe because they don't spend a lot of time lying on it or frolicking in the water, Oregonians don't call their waterfront a beach, they call it the coast. Even so, the Oregon coast – and in particular, this 64km protected stretch of rolling, wild sand dunes – is a beautiful and restful area. Zip on a wetsuit to go surfing, or get warm over a meal of rich Dungeness crab, a regional treat.
Jersey Shore, New Jersey
Hammered by Hurricane Sandy and, before that, stereotyped by TV personalities Jwoww and The Situation, this stretch of coastline is nonetheless a national treasure. New Jersey's shoreline has a combination of beautiful blue-green waters and lively beachside culture. In the larger towns, bustling boardwalks are where you can lick an orange-and-vanilla twist cone, snack on a slice of pizza, or watch fireworks on the weekends – all to a soundtrack of Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi.
Trunk Bay, St. John
If you do still want to jet off to the Caribbean, you can – and you can still use American dollars when you arrive. The U.S. Virgin Islands are a small group of isles in the Antilles, and almost 60 percent of the island of St. John is a national park, centering on the fantastically picturesque Trunk Bay. Offshore in the calm water is a snorkeling "trail" through the coral reef.
Siesta Key Beach, Sarasota, Florida
No need to jet to the Caribbean for these crystalline white sands and dazzling clear turquoise waters. They can be had on the Gulf coast of Florida as well, complete with palm trees rustling in the soft breezes. About a two-hour drive from Orlando, it's the perfect place to rest up after a Disney binge.
Outer Banks, North Carolina
Barrier islands edge the Tar Heel State, forming a skinny strip of sand that covers almost two hundred miles. The beaches are built up in such famous spots as Hilton Head and Kitty Hawk, and impressively wild along Cape Hatteras, where you have to pack all your supplies and ride a short ferry over for the day. It's hard to believe this was the so-called "Graveyard of the Atlantic," where so many ships sank in centuries past. On a calm day, looking at the clear, glass-green water, it feels like heaven.

Gretzky's son chosen by Cubs in amateur draft
The Chicago Cubs hope they've drafted a Great One.
Trevor Gretzky, the baseball-playing son of Hockey Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky, was selected in the seventh round Tuesday during the second day of the amateur draft.
The younger Gretzky knocks in runs — not goals — as a left-handed, power-hitting, California high school first baseman.
And the jersey number he wore? Well, No. 99, of course.
He has a commitment to San Diego State, where he could play under baseball Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn if he chooses not to sign with Chicago.
The Cubs also took a name from their past, drafting California high school outfielder Shawon Dunston Jr. in the 11th round. Shawon Sr. was the No. 1 overall pick by Chicago in 1982 and the cannon-armed shortstop played 18 big league seasons.
The sons of Ivan Rodriguez, Steve Garvey, Kevin Seitzer and the great-nephew of Eddie Gaedel — who's 6-foot-3, unlike his 3-foot-7 great-uncle, who drew a walk in one of baseball's most famous publicity stunts 60 years ago — were also among some familiar names called Tuesday.
Minnesota drafted Dereck Rodriguez, the son of the 14-time All-Star catcher, in the sixth round. The younger Rodriguez played center field and pitched for Monsignor Edward Pace High School in Miami.
Philadelphia selected Ryan Garvey, a California high school outfielder, in the 15th round.
Cameron Seitzer, a slugging first baseman for Oklahoma, was taken in the 11th round by Tampa Bay.
Valparaiso outfielder Kyle Gaedele — his last name has an extra 'e' at the end — was a sixth-round pick of San Diego. The highest-drafted player in school history, he hit .326 in three years with the Crusaders, with 17 home runs and 121 runs batted in.
Bryce Harper's brother also went to Washington. South Carolina lefty Bryan Harper was drafted in the 30th round by the Nationals, who chose slugger Bryce with the No. 1 overall pick a year ago.
The Nationals also took Georgia high school shortstop Deion Williams, the grandson of former big leaguer George Scott, in the 16th round, and Arkansas-Little Rock right-hander Travis Henke, the son of former closer Tom Henke, in the 22nd.
In the 30th round, Milwaukee drafted Trent Boras, a California high school third baseman — better known as the son of agent Scott Boras.
Arizona State outfielder Johnny Ruettiger, whose uncle is former Notre Dame football walk-on Dan Ruettiger — better known as "Rudy" — was taken by Baltimore in the eighth round.
In the second round, the Los Angeles Dodgers took Alex Santana, a Florida high school third baseman whose father, Rafael, helped the Mets win the 1986 World Series.
Former big league backup Chris Cron was able to celebrate two days in a row. His son C.J, a first baseman at the University of Utah, was a first-round pick of the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night. Younger son Kevin, an Arizona high school first baseman, went to Seattle in the third round.
The sons of Dante Bichette and Dwight Smith were selected on the draft's first day.
Among other notable names drafted Tuesday was TCU lefty Matt Purke, who was once considered a potential No. 1 overall pick until a sore shoulder limited his season. He was the 14th overall pick by Texas out of high school two years ago, but slid to Washington in the third round this year.
Texas A&M right-hander John Stilson was also considered a potential first-rounder, but he recently announced he needed surgery to repair a torn labrum. Still, Toronto took a shot by drafting him in the third round — 12 picks after Purke went.
Pittsburgh opened the second day of the draft by taking Texas high school outfielder Josh Bell, a slugger who has first-round talent but has said he intends to go to the University of Texas.
The draft finishes Wednesday with rounds 31-50.

WormwoodArtemisia absinthium
• ]]>Crohn's Disease]]>
• ]]>Dyspepsia]]>, ]]>Esophageal Reflux]]>, ]]>Irritable Bowel Syndrome]]>, Parasites
Artemisia absinthium , or common wormwood, is most famous as an ingredient of the alcoholic beverage absinthe. Wormwood is also found in vermouth, but at lower levels. Besides its common function as a flavoring, wormwood also has a long history of medicinal use. A reputed ability to kill intestinal worms gave rise to the herb's name. Other traditional uses include treating liver problems, joint pain, digestive discomfort, loss of appetite, insomnia, epilepsy, and menstrual problems. The leaves and flowers, and the essential oil extracted from them, are the parts used medicinally.
Common wormwood is a relative of sweet wormwood ( Artemisia annua ), a source of the malaria drug artemisinin (also called artemesin).
What Is Wormwood Used for Today?
Wormwood is sometimes recommended today for the treatment of digestive conditions such as intestinal parasites, dyspepsia]]> , ]]>esophageal reflux]]> , and ]]>irritable bowel syndrome]]> . However, there is no meaningful evidence to indicate that it is effective for any of these conditions. Only ]]>double-blind]]> , placebo-controlled studies can show a treatment effective, and only one has been performed using wormwood. (For information on why such studies are essential, see ]]>Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies?]]> )
This 10 week study conducted in Germany evaluated the potential benefits of wormwood for treatment of people with ]]>Crohn's disease]]> , an inflammatory condition of the intestines. ]]>9]]> All forty people enrolled in the study had achieved good control of their symptoms through use of steroids and other medications. Half were given an herbal blend containing wormwood (500 mg three time daily) while the other half were given an identical-appearing placebo. Both researchers and study participants were kept in the dark regarding who was receiving real treatment and who was not. Beginning at week 2, researchers began a gradual tapering down of the steroid dosage used by participants. Over subsequent weeks, most of those given placebo showed the expected worsening of symptoms that the reduction of drug dosage would be expected to cause. In contrast, most of those receiving wormwood showed a gradual improvement of symptoms. No serious side effects were attributed to wormwood in this study.
These are extremely promising findings. However, it must be kept in mind that a great many treatments that show promise in a single study fail to hold up in subsequent independent testing. Further research will be needed to establish wormwood as a helpful treatment for Crohn's disease. Other proposed uses of wormwood have far weaker supporting evidence. Extremely preliminary indications hint
Other proposed uses of wormwood have far weaker supporting evidence. Extremely preliminary indications hint that wormwood essential oil (like many other essential oils) might have antifungal, antibacterial, and antiparasitic actions. ]]>1-5]]> Note, however, that is does not mean that wormwood oil is an antibiotic. Antibiotics are substances that can be taken internally to kill microorganisms throughout the body. Wormwood oil, rather, has shown potential antiseptic properties. Unfortunately, it is also potentially quite toxic. (See ]]>Safety Issues]]> .)
Other weak evidence hints that an alcohol extract of wormwood might have ]]>liver-protective]]> actions. ]]>6]]>
In the study noted above, wormwood was taken at a dose of 500 mg three times daily. A typical traditional dose of wormwood is 3 cups daily of a tea made by steeping 2.5 to 5 grams of wormwood in hot water. Wormwood essential oil should not be used. Long-term use of any form of wormwood (over 4 weeks) should not be attempted except under physician supervision.
Safety Issues
There are many unsolved questions about the toxicity of wormwood. When absinthe was popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a mental disorder known as "absinthism"—involving hallucinations, tremors, vertigo, sleeplessness, and seizures—was associated with it. Wormwood contains thujone, a substance thought to be toxic to nerves when taken at high doses, and thujone has been proposed as a factor contributing to absinthism. However, the symptoms of absinthism are also consistent with mere chronic overuse of alcohol, and absinthe does not appear to contain sufficient thujone to cause harm. 7]]> Furthermore, animal studies have generally failed to find significant toxicity with wormwood even at relatively high doses. ]]>7,8]]>
Despite the absence of firm evidence, wormwood is still considered a potentially toxic herb, especially if taken over the long term. Wormwood essential oil contains thujone at much higher levels than those found in absinthe, and should be avoided. Wormwood should not be used by young children, pregnant or nursing women, or people with severe liver or kidney disease.

As any New Yorker knows, you can't go more than 5 blocks in Manhattan without running into a Duane Reade. While national drugstore chains have swept across the country, Duane Reade has remained distinctly New York – even while falling under their new parent, Walgreens. I find myself in Duane Reade at least once a week – there's always something to pick up on my way home, and with Chase ATMs in all of them it's made going to the bank pretty unnecessary too. Recently they renovated a bunch of Duane Reades and even built a new super fancy one right near me on the Upper West Side – with a beer bar and everything!
So, I knew it would be a cinch to write a sponsored post for Duane Reade and check out their holiday offerings as well as their new eco-friendly line of household goods – Ology. I am always looking for eco-friendly cleaning and paper goods options, partly because my daughter has crazy sensitive skin, and also because we go through a LOT of paper towels and tissues, and if I can make that impact smaller – on the earth and my wallet – I want to. Once I saw the offerings in their Happy and Healthy circular I was super intrigued.
I also took my girls along since Duane Reade is an easy after school snack destination, with a huge selection of healthier snack options priced very well. After perusing the danish/donut/muffin/not gonna happen display, they chose cinnamon yogurt covered pretzels from the delish line. I love these packaged snacks of nuts and other food because they're portion controlled, inexpensive and easy to tote in my bag. Great for travel too.
When I take my girls shopping with me, even to the drugstore, they see all sorts of things I wouldn't notice. Like the awesome Beanie Ballz for holiday. (Gift Guide hint – tweens LOVE Beanie Ballz)
I knew that there was going to be some fabulous Taylor Swift merchandise at Duane Reade – and had told my girls that everything they saw was "wish list" material. They already checked off a T-shirt and album.
One of the ways in which Duane Reade truly is an NYC store is the fact that they have Hanukkah items. I know that sounds strange, but you'd be surprised how many big chain stores completely ignore Jewish holidays, even when they open in NYC. BIG MISTAKE. Duane Reade had a really nice selection of Hanukkah cards and decorations. Plus, some beautiful cards from Papyrus – the high-end card company.
All in all, this was a very successful shopping trip to Duane Reade – they even have a wall of gift cards, which really is my go to gift when push comes to shove. It's great to have a full selection in one place.
Check out Duane Reade on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and follow the #DRHappyandHealthy hashtag for lots of great posts and pics.
And you can see all of my pics on my Google Plus album too!

Coming to a television near you - Enquiring Minds TV Series
11 March 2013
Imagine turning your hobby and interest to a career. Imagine meeting the experts and getting first hand experience for things that you love. Imagine watching all that unfold on TV and getting the guidance to follow your childhood dream.
Enquiring Minds is an inspirational new series that aims to help children in primary school turn their passion into a career through higher education.
The 11 part series profiles young students with a passion - animals, robots, computer games, mummies - and links them with a current student and academic in the field who explains how they have turned a similar passion or hobby into a career or focus of their study.
"Enquiring Minds is a terrific addition to the work we do through Compass with primary schools kids," said Annette Cairnduff, Director Social Inclusion. "We know that it is important to engage with children early and ignite their curiosity about learning and show them where their passions and interests can lead."
"Enquiring Minds is aimed at primary school children and features primary school children and many common interests. Simply seeding the idea of taking a passion or interest further is really important."
The series will feature a range of interesting topics that will awaken children's curiosity and broaden their knowledge. Experts will welcome and share their experiences with the children and viewers as they embark on a small adventure in each episode.
"Children always dream of what they want to do when they grow up, but often the serious conversations around university study don't occur until they become teenagers. This TV series helps children put themselves into the picture as they meet with adults who share their interests developed through study and research," TVS Executive Producer Rachel Bentley said.
The series is also designed to link to an interactive website (COMING SOON). Smartboard, web apps and curriculum mapping means the series can also be used by teachers as a classroom resource through lesson plans and an online game.
The Enquiring Minds series was developed as part of the Bridges to Higher Education program of which the University is a proud partner.

The soldier accused of killing 16 Afghan civilians watched as child after child described the bloodbath that left their parents and other loved ones dead. Whatever reaction Staff Sgt. Robert Bales might have had, he kept hidden behind a calm face.
Three sessions of nighttime testimony in Bales' preliminary hearing, scheduled to accommodate witnesses participating by video link from Afghanistan, wrapped up late Sunday. After the hearing at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, the investigating officer will decide whether to court-martial Bales, who could be sentenced to death if convicted.
The witnesses were as young as little Robina, just 7, who wore a deep-red head covering and a nervous smile. She described how she hid behind her father when a gunman came to their village that night, how the stranger fired, and how her father died, cursing in pain and anger.
"I was standing behind my father," she testified Saturday night. "He shot my father."
One of the bullets struck her in the leg, but she didn't realize it right away.
Prosecutors say Bales slipped away from his base to attack two villages in Kandahar province, killing 16 civilians, including nine children. The slayings drew such angry protests that the U.S. temporarily halted combat operations in Afghanistan, and it was three weeks before American investigators could reach the crime scenes.

It's been a while since I've updated this blog. It's hard to believe that we've gone through 37 days in 2010. My NY's resolution was to spend a bit more time blogging. However, like most, if not all, my NY resolutions, it didn't materialize 🙂 .
After 3 months, I've finally gotten Li San's wedding photos of CY. Li San and I have known each other since our first day in Australia. Looking back, I can't believe how our paths have crossed and what a blessing she's been in my life. It feels like it was yesterday, Krys, LS and I were walking down the streets of Hobart, shopping and chatting away. I still remember us staring at our shadows on the pavement and laughing about how we looked like Charlie's Angels. 3 very different girls, from 3 very different family backgrounds, with 3 very different personalities but one common thing – friendship without boundaries and inhibitions. These 2 gals have been nothing but a solid support in my life and that speaks a lot, as people who know me well, will know I've always had more close guy friends than I have girlfriends. Seeing how we've all grown in the last 7 years brings a huge smile to my face.
It was a pleasure and an honour for me to have had the opportunity to make LS's wedding cake. LS and Jeeuk are certainly a couple you can say have seen the test of time and distance. I have to say not only was I proven greatly wrong, but was very impressed by how 2 people stayed together for so long despite the distance – with one in Vancouver and the other in Hobart! Thank you so much guys for allowing me the joy of being a part of your journey towards a lifelong of laughter and love.

Anthony Eyton – interview: 'I'm still dealing with my mother's early death. That's what the paintings are about perhaps'
The 17th-century merchant's town house that is Pallant House has been allowed to maintain its pre-eminence; and yet, the finely detailed brick façade of the new gallery does not collide, but has a red-brown, salt-glazed terracotta envelope, set back, yet mediating between the two: this contains the new staircase and lift, which link both buildings. It all appears effortlessly contrived, but is the result of very careful volumetric manipulation. Entering through the new main entrance, there is a sublime moment when the visitor sees beyond the carefully modulated reception area into a kind of oasis of white Aaltoesque walls and screens. In the open, there lies, fully accessible, the conservatory/loggia, onto which at ground level the restaurant spreads out. It is not for nothing that MJ Long, the partner architect to Sir Colin St John Wilson, successfully redesigned The Ivy restaurant in London's 'theatreland'. This glimpse of a shady loggia is further enhanced at appropriate times by the olfactory effect of good coffee. The visitor is momentarily split in mind by that attraction, or the urge to move straight into viewing the collection, which is an historic late 20th-century/early 21st-century creation, where 'Sandy' Wilson was able to build his lifetime's accumulation of important British modern painting and sculpture into the pre-existing but excellent early 20th-century Pallant House collection, the legacy of the Dean of Chichester, Walter Hussey and other local benefactors.
One has to stand back from this masterly architectural achievement for a moment to consider the remarkable way in which Wilson secured the collaboration and support not only of the local community and the planners, but, critically, the Heritage Lottery Fund. In fact, the progression of the Pallant House Gallery over the two decades since it first opened in the original building makes an impressive case study of how, when all concerned collaborate to achieve objectives that are entirely collective, overlaying the individual priorities of those involved, ultimately, a kind of serendipity sets in. Of course, the road to fulfilment had setbacks. But in the end, the same dogged determination that enabled Wilson to override the tribulations of the British Library project (a process likened by Wilson to the Thirty Years' War in European history) ensured that, ultimately, the funding of the new gallery (and the upgrading of the old), its preferred architecture and the actual accommodation of the collections came to fruition this year. Stefan van Raay, the new curator, was instrumental in the whole process, placing his new appointment on the line initially as a condition for achieving a contemporary building, to which the trustees agreed in 1997. Wilson himself accounts to Stefan's appointment as critical to the progress of the whole venture.
Indeed, the role of the curator in blending together the original Pallant House collection with Wilson's, and integrating both, was vital. The original Pallant House collection already contained gems of early British modernism, such as works by Sutherland (from Hussey), Bawden, Epstein, Duncan Grant, Ivon Hitchens, John Minton, Paul Nash, John Piper and Edward Wadsworth (many of the works coming via the Chichester Festival Theatre), all of which now seem to provide an introduction to housing the Wilson collection itself in all its historical prominence. The collection had been solicited by art museums as far away as Finland, and ostensibly too the Tate. But Wilson and his wife, MJ Long, sustained the vision to locate it in Chichester, a city with which they had already formed a long association.
The collection 'before Wilson', for all its worldliness, revealed a very moving Englishness through the works of Paul Nash, Matthew Smith, Ethelbert White, Eric Ravilious and even Ben Nicholson. In the house catalogue, the telling words of CRW Nevelson, written in 1919 in the predecessor to this journal, the Studio magazine, are quoted: 'The immediate need of the art of today is a Cezanne, a reactionary, to lead art back to the academic traditions of the Old Masters, and save contemporary art from abstraction'.
There was a reactionary tendency in England, not fully counteracted by the work of David Bomberg (works here gifted by Wilson), Nicholson, Moore (from the Hussey bequest) and John Tunnard, with Paul Klee and also Paul Nash (mostly added from the Kearley bequest). Now added to this debatable ground there swept in unequivocally the Wilson gift - leading on to the key works of the Independent Group, sculptures and prints by Eduardo Paolozzi, collages by Nigel Henderson, paintings by Richard Hamilton, Peter Blake, Colin Self, Joe Tilson, Patrick Caulfield, Howard Hodgkin and Ron Kitaj.
But then this excellently curated exposition turns astutely to include (also from the Wilson gift) an array of post-war British figurative art, with works by Lucian Freud, John Minton, Bomberg, Frank Auerbach, Michael Andrews, William Coldstream, Victor Willing, linked to Pallant House's past by two works by John Davies and again Frank Auerbach, both from the Hussey bequest.
New or recent commissions from the Pallant Gallery Trust now include a large wall drawing by Paul Huxley and contemporary works again from the Wilson gift, recent works by Anthony Caro, Joe Tilson, Patrick Caulfield and William Tucker. So the commissioning and acquisition process at Pallant House Gallery will continue apace.
The whole Pallant House Gallery is a momentous achievement, given the repeated vagaries that have in the past few decades afflicted British art, its collectors and entrepreneurs up and down the country. Pallant House demonstrates how, with determination, great things can be achieved. There is a certain saintly ethos about it all: can it be the proximity of a superb cathedral and its fine gardens within the city centre? Magical effects have been created. One should add final accolades: to the already much lauded garden designer Christopher Bradley-Hole; and to the trustees for not stinting on the budget for Pietra Siena finishes, Portland Stone paving (also on the ground floor) and English Oak skirting. The final accolades go to the curator, Stefan van Raay, to Sir Colin St John Wilson and MJ Long, as architects, and to Wilson as conductor, orchestrator and benefactor of this great gift to British architecture and art. If you wish to see his monument, look around here. (The architecture of the building will be reviewed in Studio International in fuller detail by this author during September).Michael Spens

Smartphone Design Takes Center Stage in Barcelona
The importance of design was a common theme at Mobile World Congress, but smartphone makers are taking some very different approaches.
When you talk to LG's chief designer, for instance, today's styling is about the little things. As a giant screen dominates the modern smartphone, companies like his need to find a way to add their own touch at the edges.
"I am trying to say this is an LG phone, even if it is (with) a small voice," LG vice president Chul Bae Lee said in an interview in Barcelona last week.
For Lee, that often means things as small as the chrome around a speaker, or the LED light that glows in different colors to indicate an incoming message.
At Nokia, by contrast, it is about being bold — separating itself from the Android pack. The company's product line — from feature phones to the high-end Lumia 920 — center around bright colors and bold curves.
"It's a point of view," Nokia design head Marko Ahtisaari said in an interview. "These are very expressive objects."
Beyond making a statement, Ahtisaari said, color helps create an emotional connection between Nokia's devices and its customers. Plus, he said, its research shows that people with the brightly colored phones are more likely to recommend their device.
As a testament to just how big a role design is playing at the new Nokia, it was Ahtisaari, rather than CEO Stephen Elop, who presided over the bulk of the company's Mobile World Congress press conference.
But while Nokia goes for yellow and cyan, LG and others are experimenting with more subtle shades of black and white. Lee points to the speckled backs on several recent models, such as the Optimus G, which looks black indoors, but has an indigo cast to it when viewed in the sunlight.
While clearly more subtle, Lee says, LG's recent phones are designed to help LG do something it has had a tough time doing of late — standing out from the pack.
"LG has had somewhat of a hard time in the smartphone business, but as a designer I have always been proud of our design heritage," he said.
Lee added that he wants to bring more of that original design heritage back to LG's devices. But the problem facing Lee and others is that the screen takes up more and more of a phone's area, leaving less room for designs of any kind. One of the primary goals these days is reducing the borders — or bezels — on the phone to as close to zero as possible.
"When we came out with the LG Chocolate, we did something big and different," Lee said. "Now it's a matter of the smaller details. I wouldn't say [designing phones] is less exciting than before, but it's more difficult, for sure."
Another issue confronting device makers is whether to go with a global design, as Nokia and Samsung have, or to customize devices for specific regions or operators.
LG, for example, plans different versions of its Optimus G for different carriers even within the U.S. market. The Sprint model features a higher-end camera that protrudes slightly in the back, while AT&T's has what Lee described as a more pragmatic design, with a flat back.
Again, Nokia's take varies from LG's. Ahtisaari said that Nokia likes to take one design and use it across the whole portfolio.
"When you look at all our devices together, it looks like a family portrait," he said. "They should look like they come from the same place."
Beyond physical looks, both companies are looking at other ways to differentiate their design, either through customizing the user interface or providing experiences outside of the screen, such as wireless charging.

Guidelines for MNEs › Responsible Business Conduct in Central Asia and South Caucasus
Investors and companies need to understand what is expected of them in the specific environment in which they operate to be able to contribute most effectively to sustainable development and inclusive growth through responsible business conduct.
Country reports
About the project
As part of its work to implement the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the OECD examines the role of responsible business conduct in building healthy business environments in Central Asia and South Caucasus.
Kazakhstan and Georgia are the first countries to be reviewed in this series of reports focused on responsible business conduct and sustainable development throughout the region. This work contributes to the OECD-Eurasia Competitiveness Programme and is supported by the Government of Austria. It was launched in May 2014 at the Astana Economic Forum in Kazakhstan.

Only a ten minute walk from The Inn On First, a Napa Bed and Breakfast Inn, is a new restaurant that is getting a lot of buzz for its food. So last week when our friends, Guy and Christina DeMarco, were in town we joined in the fun. No reservations taken. It's a drop in and "be social" kind of place.
Lots of small plates to choose from, really a restaurant for sharing everything on the table. The Herb Leaf Fries were just yummy for a starter as was the Dungeness Crab Toasts with sweet and sour sauce. Jamie really enjoyed the Twice Fried Brussels Sprouts (you all know I am a hater) and the Grilled Cauliflower Steaks with Blood Oranges was spectacularly fun to eat with a lovely contrast of grill marks and the sweet yet slightly acidic orange. We couldn't pass up the "Angry" Shrimp cocktail with chilies and orange, although Guy thought they were more "Mildly Pissed Off" with regard to the "heat" factor.
We all dug into and loved the Garlic and Chili Roasted Dungeness Crab with Grilled Bread and spicy aioli. Wowza! Just make sure to ask for extra napkins as this is a finger feast with forks given to each person to extract the meat. Don't worry, they have these lovely wet towels with lemon to clean up at the end.
Also got a chance to try to the Roasted Quail with Soy Glaze, and that was just delicious. Oh, how the menu tempted us to purchase more, but beware!, these dishes creep up on you slowly and suddenly you find you simply cannot partake of another bite. I passed on dessert as I am currently/temporarily no dairy, and everything had dairy in it.
It just means another trip within the month to sample another 1/4 of the menu. I still want to try the Atlas jacks (sweet and spicy cracker jacks), the Crudo with Preserved Kumquat, the Red Curry Mussels, and the Rabbit Pot Pie. Prices range from $5 to 9$ for Snacks, $8 to $20 for small plates, and $34 to $42 for the larger platters to be shared by up to four people. Wine bar only available, by the glass and the bottle. Plenty of Vegetarian options, and I was unable to find out at the end how they manage Vegans or Gluten-free.
Seating tip: they have high tables in front with stool seating, but ask if there are any tables available in the back that are more like booths (not a lot of them) where it feels more restarauntish vs. clubby.
